Sony Shares Details on Android 4.3 & 4.4 Update Plans

[dgstorm]

One of the things fans of Sony devices can count on over the past year and half is that the Japanese mobile device maker is quick to update their devices to the newest version of Android. In reference to that point, Sony recently shared some details regarding their plans for upgrading their devices to Android 4.3 and to Android 4.4. Instead of just rehashing what they said, here's a quick quote from Sony's blog with the details,

First up, Jelly Bean 4.3

We’re pleased to tell you that we’ll start rolling Android 4.3 for Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 from next month*.

We also mentioned that a few of our products would be jumping software version – so, we can confirm that Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V* will be upgraded to Android Jelly Bean 4.3… also from next month.

And, to Kit Kat 4.4

We’re also happy to tell you about the first raft of Xperia products that we’ll make Android 4.4 Kit Kat available for – they are: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1*.

On that, please stay tuned to the social newsroom and @SonyMobileNews, where we’ll update you with specific info on product upgrade timings & software features as things progress.

It's a shame that Sony devices aren't more widely available on multiple carriers in the United States (hint, hint VZW). Sony has apparently focused more on the European markets, where they are doing very well compared to several Android manufacturers.
